On the other hand, butter, margarine and nut butters are mined with fat grams. In the case of the margarine and butter, the whipped varieties can save both calories and fat grams.

Fats in Sandwich Spreads

Now let's look at the popular sandwich spreads - mustard and Mayo. Full-blown Mayo is quite extreme in fat grams so your weight loss plan would benefit greatly by making mustard your sandwich spread - or by opting for the reduced fat or zero fat varieties of Mayo.

Mustard isn't just yellow anymore - and is available in a variety of flavors, from honey mustard to brown spicy.

The yellow will definitely fit quite well into your weight loss plan for a skinny 3 calories per teaspoon; an entire cup of mustard contains only 167 calories.
